Chihiro from SPIRITED AWAY is the most millennial-coded character in fiction:

- forced to beg in order to get worst job in the entire universe
- incompetent at work due to being coddled by pig boomer parents
- immediately starts dating her manager
- quits after two days to move back home

18 USC 3288 is said card that extends SOL.

The prejudice part is that, if it had been dismissed with prejudice, that would qualify as

"or some other reason that would bar a new prosecution."

that would stop the savings statute from taking effect.

mamdani just had a meeting with an admirer of his who has used the term "shylock", accused jews who disagree with him of being traitors to israel, defended a nazi rally as "having some fine people", and said he liked his accountants to wear yarmulkes. proof of his antisemitism!

Socrates: I have been persecuted for my philosophical views

Me: Holy shit! You were condemned for trying to define piety?

Soc: LOL no...no not those views

Me: So....the nature of the soul?

Soc: Haha no not those views either

Me: Which views, exactly?

Soc: Oh, you know the ones

This is as good a distillation of my views on voting and morality thereof as I've ever encountered.
as long as you live in America there is no choice you can make that absolves you of moral responsibility for the American state, the only thing you can do is ensure that it behaves in the least unethical way possible

Interested to read the report, but is this different conduct from that at issue in the hundreds of millions in settlements JP Morgan Chase already paid?

HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.

I agree we should never get in the way of our enemies fighting, but anyone feeling friendly towards MTG should go watch the video of her harassing 18 year old David Hogg when he was lobbying Congress people in gun control.

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

There's literally not another video game like it.

The closest pop culture piece to it I can think of is Kung Fu Hustle: both are simultaneously parodies and tributes to a dozen different things, while also being something completely unique and wonderful in their own right.

I just tried Durbin's DC office and the line played a "we can't come to the phone right now" message and then hung up, no VM opportunity.
CALL ALL OF THEM. SAY PRIMARY.

you have to be a genuine fucking idiot to believe this. there is no plausible genetic mechanism for this, especially if you go looking for "IQ" genes. there are a few genes which if you turn them off make humans gravely intellectually disabled. other than that it's a million point mutations.
